What Is the Difference Between A Sub-Domain, Parked Domain and An Add-on Domain? Print

  • 0

Sub domain

  • Let's say your domain is domain.com.
  • You install a E-Commerce and put in a directory called domain.com/ecommerce/.
  • You can turn the directory ecommerce into a sub-domain by
    adding it as a sub-domain from your Control Panel.
  • Now you can access your E-Commerce as either domain.com/ecommerce OR ecommerce.domain.com

Parked Domain

  • You have several domains domain.com, domain.org, domain.biz and domain.net.
  • domain.com is the domain of your website and you
    want to add domain.org, domain.biz and domain.net.
  • You want them both to go to the same place. In other words, when
    someone types either domain.com,domain.org, domain.biz or domain.net they will go to the same page(s) on your
    website.
  • In order to have additional parked domains you need to purchase the
    additional domain(s).

 
Add-On Domains (Only for Shared Hosting Plan)

  • You have two domains domain.com and addondomain.com.
  • You want the two domains to be totally separate/independent websites.
  • In order to have additional add-on domains you need to purchase the
    additional domain(s).
